Morning, Peter.
Morning.
I got nothing on the auction house. Weatherby's looks pretty damn legit.
Damn.
We need some kind of leverage so Cattigan will let our bottle in.
leverage 影響力
Keller really got to you, huh?

Yeah, he's a piece of work.

He and Neal may be rivals, but he's the anti-Caffrey, The bizarro Neal.

What, you got something?
Yeah, they had lousy weather in France this summer -- Couple of blazing-hot months.

The grape harvest came up short.
That's good?
Yeah. 1947 was not a good year.

I see European nobles and a handful of hedge-fund managers, but no sign of your buddy Keller.
It's hard to arrest him on fraud if he doesn't show up.
Keller wouldn't miss the chance to see my face when this goes down. He must be watching.
So, he could be anywhere.
No, he'll be nearby, just in case anything goes wrong.
Doesn't help us much.
You think we can get this into the auction?
I have a move up my sleeve.
I have a move up my sleeve 奥の手があるんだ。
I'm sorry, I can't submit your bottle since clearly it has to be counterfeit.
One of them has to be. How do you know it's not yours?
We have reason to believe this is the real bottle.
Where did you get it?
We're not at liberty to say.
at liberty to 自由に〜してよい
I won't admit it to the auction.
You sure about that?
Last year, you sold six magnums of Chateau Lafleur, 1947, at about $50,000 a bottle.
That's public record.
I talked to the vineyard.
They only produced five magnums that year.
You don't want people knowing you got scammed, do you? Bad for business.
I guess you'll have to test them both to find out.
I can't.
It will take at least three hours. The auction
Can wait. three hours. My client welcomes the challenge.
Figured he might.
Oh, while we wait, why don't you give me the IP addresses of everyone watching on your internet feed. Thanks.
Hey, boss. How's it going?
They're running the test now.
Congrats.
Yeah, not celebrating yet. How's it going in there?
We're tracing those IPs.
Any hits?
Three locations -- the Carlyle, the peninsula, and a parking garage. Who'd be watching from a parking garage?
Somebody who wants to be on the move. Send units to the hotels, but put the bulk of our guys on the parking garage.
They're about to announce the results of the test.
We're about to move on Keller.
Sounds like "checkmate" to me.
Thank you again for your patience. We apologize for the delay, but as some of you are aware, We have had to conduct a cesium test to verify the authenticity of the two bottles we have been presented with.
The test shows that one of the bottles is a forgery.
"one of the bottles"?
The other, represented by Miss Grace Qquinn, is authentic.
Thank you for your patience.
patience 根気
The bidding will commence shortly.
commence 開始する
You said it was impossible to fake.
It is impossible.
Unless he had the real bottle all along.
If Keller had the real bottle, Why would he go through all this?
Why pretend to have a fake?
He wanted to drive up the price.
Damn!
That's it.
Surround the bottle with controversy. Now everyone in here is dying to get their hands on it.
controversy 論争 get one's hands on 手に入れる
It'll go for double, even triple the price now.
Which gives him more than enough money to pay off his debt to the russians. And he used me to do it.
This was his plan the whole time.
He is good.
We have to arrest him now.
As soon as this auction ends, he's gone.
What am I gonna arrest him on?
I mean, we have nothing on him now.
Trespassing.
What?
I can't believe I'm gonna ask you this, but have you seen him trespass?
I have, actually, at a construction site.
construction 建築
It had a "no trespassing" sign and everything.
All right, we may not be able to hold him for long, but finding Keller's gonna take a bit.
All right, well, I'll stall until you can get him.
stall 引き延ばす
Nothing.
Illegal, I know.
Yo.
Hey, Moz, it's me.
Is the auction over?
No.
I just stepped outside.
So, how's it going?
Not good.
Keller's bottle is real.
He has the real bottle?
You're kidding me.
Nope.
Then why?
To drive the price up.
Brilliant. And we took the bait. Did they test both bottles?
Yep.
How did our bottle do?
Passed every test except the cesium.
You did great, Moz.
Now, focus.
I need your help.
We can still nail this guy.
On what?
I'll tell you later.
We got to find him first.
Remember how I told you Keller had a debt to the Russians?
Of course. I have perfect recall.
Well, I'm trying to stall the bidding.
Keller's gonna want to pay these guys off as soon as possible.
Which must mean that they're in town somewhere.
Exactly.
I'll ask around.
Yeah, well, do it fast.
If you find anything, meet me at Weatherby's.
I'll leave a pass for you at the front.
Anything?
Signal's coming from the northwest corner of the garage.
We've sealed off every entrance and exit.
All right, good.
We're doing a floor-by-floor search, people, starting now.
I want everyone prepared.
This guy could be armed.
Nobody gets out.
I must say it appears this spot of intrigue has whetted appetites, so without further ado we'll open the bidding at $100,000.
whet 刺激する appetite 欲求 ado 騒動
What did you find out?
I did follow-up on your suit's intel.
Turns out, the Russians are indeed after Keller.
They want their money now. And Sergei himself is in town.
He wants personal assurance from Keller that he's gonna get paid the moment this auction is done.
assurance 確信
I got an idea.
Anything?
No, nothing yet.
Clear.
Clear over here.
Damn it.
All right, next floor.
Let's move.
$375,000, ladies and gentlemen.
$375,000 from the gentleman on my right.
$400,000 on the phone.
Do I hear $425,000?
